CORONATION
ANNIVERSARY
ROUND
ROBIN

On Sunday 5th May the second Round Robin of the season took place. This time the Round Robin was held to mark the anniversary of the Coronation of King Charles III. Fourteen members took part on a pleasantly warm afternoon with refreshments part way through. Congratulations to the winners Susan and Charles Ellis. Two couples had equal results for second place with equal wins and aggregate scores: Julie and Martin, and Louise and Robin, were tied on 10 points for wins and 18 points on aggregate. Second place was therefore decided by a sudden death play off which was won by Julie and Martin. This time there was a booby prize – names won’t be mentioned but you might be able to guess who won it when you see the photos below. Thanks again to John Smith who organised the event and to all who provided refreshments and helped.

DOMINO EVENING

On Saturday March 16th the club held a domino evening in the Athenaeum. It was a good social occasion with people moving from table to table as they won points. Thanks to Colin who kept everyone in order, well at least he tried to do, and to all who prepared the evening and who worked in the background. Robin, our Club Chair, writes, “Really well done everyone. We made a profit of £289.50 – a great effort. Looking forward to arranging another fund raiser.”

The Heversham Navvies

Several club members picked up shovels, spades, and rakes to help clear the club car park for a new surface of stone to be laid. Once cleared, a 10 tonne delivery of limestone chippings was spread across the car park by the club ‘Navvies’. Club Chair, Robin commented, “Two days of hard work will hopefully pay off and keep the car park in good condition for the foreseeable future, well done to all those who took part.“

Robin adds, “Once again thanks to the club members who turned out in appalling conditions to finish laying another 5 tonnes of stone in the car park. Also well done to those who came down to the clubhouse for the Annual Spring Clean, Boon Day! Looking good for the new season.”

Pre-season Meal

What has become the Club’s Annual Pre-Season meal was held on Sunday 4th February at the Crooklands Hotel. Twenty nine members enjoyed their food and friendship. Many thanks to Robin, our new Club Chair, for organising it all. Somehow he managed to evade being in a photograph himself.
